DIY Valentine’s Day Gift Bag

So you have a sizziling romantic night planned for you and your beau, but don’t forget to spread some love via packaged sweets to your kid’s classmates or your your office mates who would love some sugar too.

DIY Valentine’s Day Gift Bag

To make some cute gift bags I picked up a bunch of these red muslin bags that were $1 for 2, but you could easily use any fabric or small paper bag. You will also need some craft paint, I used Martha Stewart’s white acrylic as it works well on fabric, and a small paint brush.

To begin paint an outline of a heart with the paint brush.Next fill in the heart with paint. If you are painting a light color over darker fabric you might need to paint a second coat of paint.

Once the paint has dried, fill up the bags with your choice of candy. I stuffed mine with several pieces of Godiva chocolates that I found with cute Valentine’s Day messages.

Finally seal shut the bags by pulling the draw strings tight and your candy bags are ready to go. Hopefully you saved yourself a few chocolates too, to reward yourself for a job well done.
